Cyclist attacked 13 times by a magpie totally lose it (video)

A cyclist in Australia has posted a video showing him being repeatedly attacked by a magpie which can be seen swooping numerous times at his helmet.

Why do magpies swoop? The birds are just being good parents, protecting their babies during spring. So while the cyclist screams that his magpie attacker is ‘off his bloody head’, it’s actually just being protective.
